Mechatronics specialist Marquardt expands its presence in Thuringia

Thuringia's Minister of Economic Affairs, Wolfgang Tiefensee, expressed his delight at the expansion: "Marquardt's new investment in Thuringia is a strong signal of confidence in light of the current global conditions!" Since 2019, the company has been located south of Erfurt, the Thuringian capital, where it acquired a vacant 30,000 m² building complex and began production. For the family-owned company, headquartered in Rietheim-Weilheim, Baden-Württemberg, the Free State of Thuringia plays a central role in the field of e-mobility. "For years, we have been experiencing very strong growth in the area of ​​electromobility. Our Thuringian location plays a key role in this business segment. Not least because of the high level of industry expertise in the region and the close connection to the Erfurt interchange, we feel encouraged to invest sustainably in this location and create further attractive and secure jobs," explained Dr. Harald Marquardt, Chairman of the Executive Board of the Marquardt Group. LEG authorized signatory Dr. Arnulf Wulff adds that the support provided by LEG as a one-stop agency also played a significant role. (hw)
